Developing Characters

In 3dom we are looking at fiction writing and developing characters. Last week we started a character sketch writing about our new characters so we got to know them better. We have also worked on the story line looking at a snapshot of their life. We are all really looking forward when we start writing our short stories.

Geometry Shapes

In 3dom we are looking at Geometry for the start of this term. This week we have looked at 2D shapes. We all made glossaries showing 2d shapes and their definition. We have also looked at 3D shapes.

Long Division

The Squares maths group in 3dom have been working on a new strategy called Long Division.
Long Division is pretty much just an algorithm for division, You always have to follow the rule:
D.M.S. Divide - Multiply - Subtract. you start by dividing, the way that you do this for example,

7÷567

You start by counting, how many times can you put 7 into 5. But in this case since you can't put 7 into 5 you merge 5 with the next number 6. So now figure out how many times 7 goes into 56. 8 is the answer so now to find the last number.

Start by thinking how many sevens go into seven, which is obviously 1. Now you have your answer    7÷567

If there are ever remainders you have to for example,

7x8 since eight was the first number, = 56 then 56 - 56 is 0. But if the multiplication was 58 - 56 = 2 you have r2 (remainder 2) which then passes onto the next number,

Without remainder: 7-7
With remainder: 27 - how many times 7 goes into 27. Which is 3, so 7x3 is 21.
Now the final equation is: 27-21=6 and then you know the remainder is 6. (Remember to write r6 and the end of your answer.)

The Next Big Thing Close Call

The chosen idea was the amazing chockets which made it into the Nagta team finals. But sadly was over taken by Ross Goss, But Apparently it was not an easy discussion our pitch was really well performed but Ross Goss was a better Idea and would benefit the school. Hopefully Ross Goss will win the school competition, good luck!
